Best 5 English Sausage And Bean Casserole Recipes

SAUSAGE AND BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse bread until large crumbs form (you should have about 6 cups); season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 6-quart heavy-bottom saucepan, cook sausage, onions, and garlic, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent and sausage is starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add tomato paste, broth, wine, thyme, and 2 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; add beans. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened but still soupy, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in 2 cups of the breadcrumbs. Divide sausage mixture between two 3-quart shallow baking dishes or eight 10-ounce ramekins. Top with remaining breadcrumbs.
• Bake, on a baking sheet, until topping is golden, 30 minutes.

ENGLISH SAUSAGE AND BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Grill the sausages until brown.
• Fry the chopped onions with the garlic and bacon.
• In a large saucepan add all the ingredients except only add half the stock. Bring to the boil and then simmer slowly.
• The recipe doesn't tell you how long to simmer for but sometimes I serve after 20-30 mins or so. If I keep it on for longer I haven't managed to overcook it yet. I just add in the rest of the stock as and when required if I'm waiting for guests to arrive.
